Centric Centrifugal Clutches - 1

Centric Centrifugal Clutches for unmatched flexibility in solving real world problems Diet You Know... Centrifugal clutches are the original soft start clutch but they can also be used as brakes on runaway systems? Applications such as elevators and lift systems need a back-up/fail-safe mechanism, and a centrifugal clutch is a proven, cost-effective solution. Product modifications with the Centric® design are simple. Recently, a lift system manufacturer easily modified its machine design to incorporate the Centric clutch as its fail-safe mechanism. Centrifugal clutches are perfect for dual drive or stand-by systems. These clutches are often used on high inertia applications like crushers, fans, pumps and back-up generators. The heavy starting torque associated with such equipment can cause torque spikes that shorten the life of motors, speed reducers and other drive train components. Machine designers can extend equipment life - and save money -by protecting their system with a Centric clutch. CerQttirnfygiiD ( Features and Benefits Boston Gear Centrifugal dutches offer advantages for a variety of drive applications: • Self-actuating/automatic clutch that requires no external controls • Highly efficient with no energy loss at rated speeds • Provides soft start acceleration • Spring loaded design offers controlled engagement at a specific RPM • Allows for smaller motors to run more efficiently at start-up • Provides shock protection for equ ipment that could be jammed or overloaded All clutches are custom designed to engage per the customer requirements • Vertical lift-out and QD bushing designs available upon request • Custom centrifugal clutches can be designed to be RPM limiters or brakes on runaway systems.
